Landlord- Tenant Handbook: Other Important Laws http: / /www.tenant. net /Other_Areas/Minnesota/hb4.html <br /> 1. The person authorized to manage the premises. <br /> 2. The owner of the premises or the owner's authorized agent (the person or entity that will be <br /> receiving any notices or demands). Minn. Stat. 6504.22, subd. 2 (1992). <br /> The addresses given should be something more detailed than a post office box number. <br /> The disclosure can be inserted in the rental agreement or in the lease or can be put in some other <br /> written form. But it must also be printed or typed and posted by the landlord in some clearly <br /> visible place on the premises. Minn. Stat. §504.22. subd. 3 (1992). <br /> The disclosure is important because the tenant must have a way of contacting the landlord or agent <br /> when repairs are needed or other problems arise. Also, a landlord cannot take any legal action <br /> against a tenant to recover rent or to evict unless the disclosure has been given. Minn. Stat. <br /> §504.22, subd. 5 (1992). <br /> Tenants who move out of a rental unit, or sublet their unit without giving the owner 30 days <br /> written notice, lose the protection of the disclosure law. Minn. Stat. 6504.22. subd. 6 (1992). <br /> 29. SUBLEASING <br /> Subleasing means having another person "take over" a tenant's unit by moving into the unit, <br /> paying rent and doing all the things the original tenant was supposed to do under the rental <br /> agreement. If nothing in the lease prohibits subletting, then the tenant can sublet. This means that <br /> the new tenant takes over the old tenant's duties, including paying the rent. It is best to get these <br /> agreements in writing and signed by both parties. Still, if the new tenant does not pay the rent, or <br /> if he or she damages the unit or leaves before the lease is up, the original tenant will be <br /> responsible to the landlord for any damages or unpaid rent. The original tenant can sue the new <br /> tenant for these costs. <br /> Most leases say the tenant can sublet only if the landlord agrees to it. If the tenant and landlord <br /> agree to sublet, it is best to get this agreement in writing. <br /> 30. ABANDONED PROPERTY <br /> Any personal property a tenant leaves behind after moving out must first be stored by the landlord. <br /> The landlord can collect from the tenant all moving and storage costs. But the tenant can get his or <br /> her property back before paying the moving and storage costs. If the tenant refuses to pay the <br /> moving and storage costs the landlord can sue the tenant to recover those costs. Minn. Stat. <br /> §504.24, subd. 1 (1992). The landlord has 24 hours after receiving a request from a tenant to <br /> return a tenant's personal property (48 hours if stored in another location). This period does not <br /> include weekends or holidays. Minn. Stat. 6504.24, subd. 2 (1992). <br /> Sixty days after the landlord has either received a notice of abandonment, or it has become <br /> reasonably apparent that the unit has been abandoned, the landlord may sell or get rid of the <br /> property in whatever way the landlord wishes. The landlord must make a reasonable effort, <br /> however, to contact the tenant at least two weeks before the sale of the items, to let the tenant <br /> know they are being sold or disposed of. The landlord must do this either by personally giving the <br /> tenant a written notice of the sale or by sending the notice by certified mail (return receipt <br /> requested) to the tenant's last known address or likely living quarters if that is known by the <br /> landlord. The landlord must also post a notice of the sale in a clearly visible place on the premises <br /> for at least two weeks before the sale. <br /> The landlord may use a reasonable amount of the money from the sale to pay for the costs of <br /> removing and storing the property, back rent, damages caused by the tenant, and other debts the <br /> tenant owes the landlord under an agreement. Money earned in excess of the landlord's costs <br /> belongs to the tenant, if the tenant has written and asked for it. The landlord may not withhold the <br /> tenant's property pending payment of any rent that may be owing. If the tenant has asked for his or <br /> 8of9 10/31/997:37 PM <br />
